how do I make a patcher like for example. I make a listbox, textbox, and a button. The listbox has nothing yet and someone who downloaded has nothing too. I add "Hi" and click the button. My listbox will now have "Hi". How do I make it when someone who downloaded has the word "Hi" without downloading again?
View 10 RepliesI'm trying to make a patcher/launcher for a game. I want it to happen like this. When the user press's the PLAY button, I want it to check if the files are up to date. If they are, then it will run the exe (it will be in the same directory). If I updated a file, say Sound.x, I want it to download it with a progress bar showing. But the thing is, I looked around and I have no idea how to check if the file is up to date or not.
View 11 RepliesI am having some trouble with patching a file in Visual Basic 2008. The idea is like that.
1- Store File In The Program Using "Resources".
2- If The Program Is Runned. My Program Should Show This Message "Please Close The Program" Or Making My Program Close The Program That I want To Patch.
3- If The Program That I want to patch is closed. Then When you click the button. the file dialogue opened and give to user the ability to choose the file that i want to modify "Replace or patched" after that the file will copied from resource and replaced the old file "Patched" after when this operation finished.
4- show this message "Your Program Is Patched. Enjoy", and the resources file should be crypted Waiting The Solution.
Basically, the way it works is by comparing the client's version to the server's version.If the client's version is lower then the server's version, it starts updating. Right now I -think- I have it already downloading the file correctly, but am not sure.The source I have it set to currently doesn't have anything there, so if I am doing the downloading wrong, please say so.Then, it extracts the zip that it downloads using SharpZipLib.After that, it deletes the zip.Stuff at the top of the source that is used to update:
Imports System.Net
Imports ICSharpCode.SharpZipLib

But to use this, I need to use "FC /B" on 2 files, and the output is WAY to big. (I used FC /B on 2 files about 50kb each and the output came out to be ~200kb. Used it on 2 files about 50MB, and the output came to be over 200MB) How does the Patcher above (link) generate patch files that are super small and so fast?

View 3 RepliesA few years ago I have been busy creating this application but it didn't succeed, now Im coming back to it and similar problems occur. Basically I use SetPixel on a given window to draw a line, work fine, but the line goes away as the window redraws itself.The problem: I have been putting timers and threads on it to make sure the line is being drawn. Is there any way to make a loop to make a certain thing happen about 10-30 times without taking in too much memory/CPU?
